How Air Pollution is Aging People Faster
Emerging science reveals how everyday exposures, from wildfire smoke to household pollution, speed up aging at the cellular level.
Farmworker Rajendra Kamble and his wife Sunita are constantly exposed to pollution from nearby factories while working in fields.
Rajendra points to the white-tiled floor of his house, which turns grey with soot by evening due to the burning of agricultural residue in nearby sugarcane nurseries.
"I am 55 now, but I feel much older,"
he said, after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hyperthyroidism. Doctors and community healthcare workers attribute his health issues and accelerated aging to constant exposure to polluted air.
